OAKENGATES TENNIS CENTRE

A new Four Court LTA Standard Indoor Tennis Centre with External Courts.

The £2.2m centre was deliverd via a Design Build project, by Baart Harries Newall with contractors Paveaways, and has several notable sustainability features.

The building is heated by a bio-mass boiler. The main hall has underfloor heating and is naturally ventilated with heat recovery via 'wind catchers'. The hall is naturally lit by rooflights (between courts) and by a glazed end wall – though this needs to be supplemented by artificial lighting to meet LTA regulations.

Original concept design was by Telford & Wrekin Council Architects Department.
